the 24/7 work-out

most people equate muscle-soreness with significant activities in which you anticipate the pain to follow. my experience is much different. as I learn of yet another unique trait, I conclude that I must do life aggressively. instead of giving you the full story with each secenario, here are some "every day" things that regularly require pain meds:

sleeping, eating, drying my hair, doing anything to my hair, painting my nails/toes, chewing gum, walking, doing puzzles/board games, writing a paper, riding in a boat, watching work-outs, cleaning, cooking, singing, folding laundry, shopping, and most recently: eating restaurant-sized salads(yes, my arm was so sore, it inhibited my typing).

on the flip side, I can do a full work-out involving cardio and weights, play an intense volleyball game, or fall face down on the pavement, without a hint of soreness or bruising. is someone playing a trick on me?

i just read this and laughed outloud. the "everyday soreness" must run in our family. but let's get serious, it's a small price to pay to live life at 120% 24 hours a day 7 days a week!

i wouldn't trade my soreness for anything :)
